Online judaica shop

Jewish families, synagogues and schools, plus gift buyers looking for items for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and festivals.

You buy at trade prices and sell at a mark-up. Gift sets, personalised items and festival bundles can raise the average order value.

Startup costs are typically around £1,500 to £6,000, depending on your website, how much stock you hold and whether suppliers post direct to customers. These are estimates, so check supplier prices and stock minimums.

Monthly revenue is typically around £600 to £3,000, depending on your range and traffic. Sales are likely to be seasonal around festivals, so plan stock and cash flow. You might start at around 10 hours a week. These are estimates, not guarantees.
